Amazon has 2 different fulfillment fees for the Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) Sellers who use Amazon’s fulfillment services to ship their items to the end customers. These 2 different fees are known as Non-Peak and Holiday Peak Fulfillment Fee. The fee during the Holiday Peak period of October 1st week to January 1st week is a notch higher than the Non-Peak Fee.
In 2022, Amazon reported that the holiday peak fee from October 15th, 2021 to January 14 2023 will be an average of USD 0.35 per item sold using US and Canada FBA.
Since a spike in sales is observed across all industries leading to increased operational and logistic costs, Amazon adds this additional fee during the peak to ensure they don’t absorb the additional cost.
This change might affect Amazon Sellers with less expensive items and eventually passed on to the customers, we recommend a review of your Fulfillment fee based on the tier of the products. Since there are multiple tiers based on the weight and dimensions of the product, we have provided the details below on what the changes will look like for the Peak Period.
